Today is our last day of our month in Uganda.  We have said our goodbyes at the orphanage and at the worksite.  This morning we packed up our clothes (what we didn’t donate), our souvenirs and our great memories and left Mityana.  We traveled to Kampala for a little last minute shopping then headed off to our favorite restaurant Java Cafe’ for an american styled lunch.  We met up with Pastor James and his beautiful wife, Lillian to say our goodbyes to them.
We left Kampala early in the afternoon to avoid the traffic we had two weeks ago when we took the women to the airport.  We did pretty well, the traffic wasn’t too bad.  Before we go to the airport we stopped at the Lake Victoria Hotel for coffee/tea.  This place was definitely the nicest facility I have ever seen in Uganda.  We sat up on the second level lake view terrance and enjoyed the company of Wycliffe, Vincent and Hamid.  We had a great time talking about our time in Uganda and watching those three characters poke and joke with each other.
We arrived at the airport terminal at 7:30 and our flight was not until 11:30.  I can tell you that there is not much to the Entebbe airport so we sat in the cafe and watch CNN for a couple hours before they said to head to the secure gate area because the plane was going to be leaving early!!! Yeah, those wood chairs we killing us.  But, alas early in Uganda time really means it might be on time...so as scheduled we headed out at 11:30 for our 8.5 hour flight to Amsterdam.
All three of us were tired and had plans to sleep on the plane as we flew through the night, of course with the help of modern medicine we all did get some sleep.
